If we know that a specific person is one whose supplications are answered, is it permissible to ask him for supplication?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If it is known that a specific person is one whose supplications are answered, is it permissible for us to approach him and ask him for supplication, explicitly or implicitly? And how do we reconcile this with what was reported from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked Uwais al-Qarani for supplication?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded this. He said: "A man from Yemen will come to you, named Uwais al-Qarani. He was dutiful to his mother. If you are able, let this man supplicate for you." This was by the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This was specific; this was specific to this man. Yes. And as mentioned, it is permissible for you to ask someone else for supplication, but it is better for you to be self-sufficient and supplicate to Allah yourself. Yes. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The man had a distinction that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, so he had a special quality and distinction that does not occur for everyone.
